Mr. Buddylee loves his long walks and one of the big benefits is sanding down his front nails. For the specifics of the technique check here: The Adventures Of A Lovable Basset Hound - Where Is Buddylee?

I saw'r pictures of a hound the humans had before me... he had a pretty white face like that too. He wasn't older, he was more EXPERIENCED. Very handsome light-colored face you got there, mister buddy LEE.

How about a doggy tread mill retrofitted with a sandpaper belt instead of a rubber belt?
More expensive than nail clippers, but maybe not as much "running away and hiding".
